Russia and China are actively seeking to revive the long-dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral framework, positioning it as a key platform for regional and global stability amid shifting geopolitical alliances.
China has publicly backed Russia's proposal, emphasizing the potential benefits of trilateral cooperation. However, India remains cautious and non-committal, stating that any revival of the RIC mechanism depends on 'mutual convenience' and has not agreed to any meetings yet. India's hesitancy is influenced by its complex relationships with both the US and China, as well as ongoing border tensions with Beijing.
The renewed interest in RIC reflects broader efforts by Russia and China to counterbalance Western influence, but India's strategic calculations remain finely balanced.
